Description

Axia iQ Main Frame 8-fader mixer

Unlock the power of seamless audio mixing with the Axia iQ IP 8-fader mixer, designed to elevate your broadcasting experience. This innovative mixer seamlessly integrates with the Axia QOR.32 engine via a single CANBus cable, providing stand-alone functionality. Alternatively, it can be effortlessly connected to an Axia network for expanded capabilities.

Expand your mixing possibilities with additional faders and controllers through the iQ Expansion Frames (available separately), offering unparalleled flexibility to suit your evolving needs. The Axia iQ Main Frame can be conveniently rack-mounted using the included hardware, ensuring a streamlined setup.

Featuring three dedicated stereo program buses and a stereo aux bus, the Axia iQ IP mixer empowers you to handle various tasks, from phone calls to off-air recordings, with ease. Additionally, it supports Livewire technology, enabling multiple audio sources to be seamlessly integrated via a single CAT network cable.

Innovative features like Livewire compatibility allow for efficient workflow optimization. For instance, in AerOn Studio, a multichannel Livewire driver can replace a traditional sound card, simplifying connectivity and enhancing versatility. With just a single cable connection, you can unleash the full potential of the Axia iQ IP mixer.

Experience unparalleled control, flexibility, and efficiency in audio mixing with the Axia iQ IP 8-fader mixer. Elevate your broadcasting setup to new heights and unlock endless possibilities for creating captivating content.

Axia iQ, the new IP-Audio console from Axia Audio. Everything’s included: control surface, DSP-based mixing engine, audio I/O, machine-control logic, even an Ethernet switch custom-built for IP-Audio. There’s an available backup power supply, too. Setup couldn’t be simpler: connect the iQ control surface to the Core engine with a single cable, add audio inputs using CAT-5, perform some fast Web-based configuration, and your iQ system is ready to broadcast. It really is that simple.

Axia iQ radio console system can be used to build custom consoles of sizes from 8 to 24 faders. A basic system consists of one iQ 8-Fader Main Frame and one QOR.32 integrated console engine, a DSP- based mixing engine which also incorporates analog and digital audio I/O, GPIO and a custom, zero- configuration Ethernet switch. Faders and control capabilities can be expanded by adding one or more iQ Expansion Frames (up to a maximum of 3 frames per console installation). iQ console frames may be placed on top of desk surface, or mounted drop-in style. Multiple frames may be physically joined if desired.

iQ operates as a standalone console, but can also connect to Axia networks. The iQ mixing surface plugs into the QOR.32 engine using a single cable. Setup couldn’t be simpler: connect the iQ control surface to the QOR.32, add audio inputs using CAT-5, perform some fast Web-based configuration, and your iQ system is ready to broadcast.

iQ features 3 dedicated stereo Program buses, plus a stereo Utility bus that can be used for phone calls, off-air recording, or as a fourth Program bus. Automatic mix-minus is provided on each fader, plus talkback functions, one-button off-air Record Mode, Show Profile functions for instant recall of up to 4 pre-defined console “snapshots”, high-resolution OLED program meters switchable between VU and PPM metering styles, OLED option and source name displays on each fader strip, Studio and Control Room monitor controls. Add redundant power to your iQ system with the Axia Console Power Supply. This single-cable connection to the QOR.32 console engine provides backup power with automatic switching.

Axia Audio  Axia logo - Pro FM broadcast

Way back in 2003, Axia Audio, the studio audio division of Telos Alliance, invented Audio over IP for Broadcast. We did what no one had ever done before create professional radio gear that networks using standard Ethernet for use in digital audio routing, mixing, and distribution systems for Broadcast and other Pro Audio applications. The foundational technology in all Axia products is Livewire plus AES67—we call it Livewire+—an AoIP protocol that enables high-reliability, low-delay uncompressed digital audio over Ethernet, including audio, logic, control, and program-associated data (PAD). Devices connect together using standard Ethernet cables; audio and control routing is accomplished with off-the-shelf Ethernet switches. Axia Livewire+ has built-in compliance with the AES67 standard. That's because Axia and Telos Alliance are committed proponents of AoIP interoperability—first as charter, supporting members of the X192 Working Group that defined AES67, and now as founding members of the Media Networking Alliance, a group of prominent equipment manufacturers formed to actively promote the adoption and implementation of the AES67 standard. Today, Axia mixing consoles, digital audio routers, broadcast intercom systems, and routing control software—along with other Telos brands and 85+ partners—are powering broadcast studios around the globe, with more than 8,000 mixing consoles and 100,000 networked audio devices
